Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors threatening food security worldwide. Recently, our
understanding of early processes underlying salinity tolerance has expanded. In this review, …

Tropisms represent fascinating examples of how plants respond to environmental signals
by adapting their growth and development. Here, a novel tropism is reported, halotropism, …

The plant root is the first organ to encounter salinity stress, but the effect of salinity on root
system architecture ( RSA ) remains elusive. Both the reduction in main root ( MR ) elongation …

The sucrose non‐fermenting‐1‐related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family represents a unique
family of plant‐specific protein kinases implicated in cellular signalling in response to …

Salinity of the soil is highly detrimental to plant growth. Plants respond by a redistribution of
root mass between main and lateral roots, yet the genetic machinery underlying this process …

Plants are exposed to combinations of various biotic and abiotic stresses, but stress
responses are usually investigated for single stresses only. Here, we investigated the genetic …

Transposable elements (TEs) have long been known to be major contributors to plant
evolution, adaptation and crop domestication. Stress-induced TE mobilization is of particular …

Reproducible and efficient high-throughput phenotyping approaches, combined with advances
in genome sequencing, are facilitating the discovery of genes affecting plant performance…

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in seed dormancy and transcriptional regulation of
genes coding for ABA biosynthetic and degradation enzymes is responsible for control of ABA …

Nutrient availability and salinity of the soil affect the growth and development of plant roots.
Here, we describe how inorganic phosphate ( Pi ) availability affects the root system …
